SSAR-15: Bumpfire stock for AR-15
Slide Fire Solutions has developed a stock for the AR-15 that facilitates bumpfire shooting. It is reminicint of the ill fated Akins Accelerator that was initially approved by the BATFE but later deemed a full-auto device and banned.
The SSAR-15 in action.
I am not sure quite how this works, but the BATFE approval letter and the Slide Fire website indicate that there are no mechanical parts. It seems to be using the buffer spring to provide the forward "bumping" force UPDATE: It requires the operator to provide muscular forward force . This is unlike the Akins Accelerator which had its own spring system. The lack of any mechanical parts may be why the BATFE approved it.
SSAR-15 Stock
Side Fire have it listed for sale at $319 on their website.
BATFE says its legal ...

"BATFE says its legal ..."
For now or at least until the "letter writers" start flooding the ATF with the "is it legal" questions.:(

The best part is when they eventually declare it illegal from the mentioned out pouring of letters, the wording they use will probably envelope any sprung or recoil reducing stock as well. Some people just need to learn to NOT write them every five seconds...

How can they declare it illegal from a letter?

Reminds me of Bill Akins.
The BATF royally screwed that guy after approving it.

Yes. But it didn't get banned because the ATF wrote a letter saying it was legal.

Sorry, someone interuppet me in the middle of that.
So, this thing uses no mechanical parts?
Basically a 'jerking off' motion to make it work?

I don't know. I made the topic to see if anyone knew any more about it or tried one.
